Re: pure malt vs new haarlem?

I like Pure Malt for its invigorating opening and the typical A*men dry down. I love New Haarlem for what it is, a dark, rich, syrupy sweet monster. I have to say New Haarlem, but not without regret at leaving Pure Malt in a close, yet distant second place.

Re: pure malt vs new haarlem?

I haven't tried Pure Malt, but New Haarlem's opening was way too much for me. Bond No. 9's I Love NY For All's opening has much more dark, java-espresso vibe, yet a more toned-down version of New Haarlem. I wore it to work the other night, and when I got home six hours later, I could've sworn I was smelling New Haarlem on my wrists. I Love NY For All is a delicious alternative, and it's much cheaper.
